In the evening, the two found a quiet valley, where several streams flowed down from the mountains, and there was a pool below, which gathered into a small river and flowed far away. There was also a flat land not far from the pool, which was very suitable for camping.
"Let's stay here tonight! There is water here, which is convenient for cooking."
Ye Liangchen took out pots and pans from the soul guide, and then moved some stones to set up a simple stove.
"You are going on a long journey, and you still bring these things?"
Seeing Ye Liangchen carrying pots and pans with him, Zhu Zhuqing was very surprised. Soul masters usually go out with some dry food at most. I didn't expect that this guy in front of him actually brought all these cooking utensils with him. It was incredible.
"What's the point of eating dry food every day? It's more interesting to cook by yourself."
"Little cat, I tell you, cooking in the wild is especially delicious, you will know later."
Ye Liangchen smiled faintly. As a foodie, it is reasonable for him to carry pots and pans with him.
"Then I'll go pick up some dry firewood."
Zhu Zhuqing had never experienced picnic life before, and she thought it was very interesting, so she ran directly to the distant woods to find some firewood.
After Ye Liangchen set up the small stove, he went to the distant stream to wash the rice, and then fetched two buckets of water. He happened to see Zhu Zhuqing coming back with a bundle of dry firewood, and there were some dead leaves on her hair, which made him laugh.
"Hey! Zhu Zhuqing, you are from the Zhu family of Xingluo Country, you should not have done these jobs yet, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing said slowly: "I really haven't done these jobs yet, but this is very simple, you can learn it once you learn it."
Putting the dry firewood on the ground, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to use flint to light the firewood and help Ye Liangchen. In the future, he will follow him to practice, so he must take the initiative to learn to do things, otherwise he will be like a vase.
Ye Liangchen put the cooking pot on the stove, washed a small piece of bacon and put it in the pot, and then looked at the small river in the distance, with an idea in his mind.
"Little cat, do you want to eat fish? There may be fish in the river over there. Let's go and see. If there are, we can catch some and bring them back for a snack tonight."
Ye Liangchen knew that this girl's martial spirit was the Nether Spirit Cat, and she had no resistance to fish and other foods.
"Are there fish? Then let's go and see."
When she heard that there was fish to eat, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up immediately. Fish was one of her favorite foods. This was also influenced by her martial spirit. She was born to like eating fish.
"If you catch a big fish, I'll let you taste boiled fish tonight. It will definitely satisfy your appetite."
"Boiled fish? What kind of dish is that?"
"Anyway, it's a delicacy you haven't eaten."
"Then I want to try it."
The two walked and talked, and soon came to the river. They found that there were indeed fish in the river, so they immediately started fishing.
"I'm blocking this side, Zhu Zhuqing, hurry up."
"Oh! Okay."
"There's a big one over there."
"I caught it..." Going
down to the river to fish is a very happy thing for many people. It doesn't matter whether the fish are eaten or not. What's important is to enjoy the process of fishing.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who has a cold personality, is immersed in the happy time of fishing at this moment, with a smile on her face. This kind of enjoyment is the first time for her.
"Ye Liangchen, thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing stared at the boy in front of her blankly, letting herself experience what a truly happy life is. At this moment, she hoped that this happy time would stay at this moment forever.
"What's wrong with you? Don't be in a daze, catch the fish quickly, we are still waiting for the fish to be put into the pot!"
Ye Liangchen ignored the other party's different eyes and hurriedly urged the other party to catch the fish.
"Oh! I'll catch it right away."
Looking at the boy in front of him, his face was covered with some mud, which looked very cute. Zhu Zhuqing also showed a bright smile, immediately cooperated with Ye Liangchen, and then continued to catch fish.
As the saying goes, men and women work together, and work is not tiring. After a while, the two caught more than a dozen fish, and the big ones were estimated to be two kilograms.
"There are so many fish, enough for the two of us to eat."
Ye Liangchen slaughtered the fish directly by the river, and Zhu Zhuqing also helped to clean the fish.
After the two returned to the camp, they found that the rice was cooked. Ye Liangchen took out a chopping board, removed the fish bones, and cut the fish into thin slices. The smooth operation made Zhu Zhuqing on the side stunned.
Ye Liangchen, what else can't you do?
Zhu Zhuqing thought of the young man in front of him. He was powerful, with various levels of martial arts, which made people dazzled. He had superb medical skills. The key was that he could cook. He was super handsome, cheerful, and kind. He was simply a perfect man, the best of the best.
Alas! Such a top-notch man, I don't know which woman will be cheap in the future?
Zhu Zhuqing was born in the Zhu family of the Xingluo Empire. He has seen countless handsome men, but no one can compare with the boy in front of him.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had a bold idea in his heart. He wanted to stay with this man forever, but this idea was just a thought. His fate was already doomed. Now he was not strong enough to change his fate. He didn't dare to think about it for the time being. If he hurt the boy in front of him because of his own affairs, it would be bad.
After Ye Liangchen finished slicing the fish, he was speechless when he saw Zhu Zhuqing who was in a daze beside him.
"Hey! Kitty! Why are you in a daze again? Hurry up and help add firewood! I'm going to make boiled fish. I've been busy for a long time and I'm almost starving."
"Oh! Sorry, I was absent-minded. I'll add firewood right away."
Zhu Zhuqing was awakened by Ye Liangchen's voice. A blush flashed across her cheeks. She quickly grabbed some dry firewood and put it in the small stove.
Ye Liangchen heated oil in a pot, then added mountain spring water, and then added a little spicy sesame oil. After the soup boiled, he put in the fish slices.
After a while, a pot of spicy and fragrant boiled fish slices came out of the pot, sprinkled with a little wild onion, and the taste instantly came out.
Ye Liangchen also made a dish of stir-fried blue silver grass, and sliced the bacon and placed it on the small table.
"Zhu Zhuqing, eat."
Ye Liangchen called the kitten to eat. After a long time of busy work, he could finally eat.
"Ye Liangchen, thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing picked up a piece of boiled fish fillet and stuffed it into her mouth. Instantly, the spicy and fresh taste exploded.
"Wow! This is so delicious."
Zhu Zhuqing had usually fried fish before, and had never seen this kind of boiled fish fillet. At this moment, she was captured by this deliciousness.
"Delicious! Then eat more."
Ye Liangchen smiled. Spicy boiled fish fillet was a delicacy that only existed on Blue Star in the previous life. He had never seen it in the alien world of Douluo Continent.
Both of them were soul masters, and the small table of food was quickly eaten up.
"Ye Liangchen, this is the best dinner I have ever had. Thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing said to Ye Liangchen with gratitude while helping to clean up the pots and pans. She had lived in fear and anxiety for many years, and suddenly she enjoyed this peaceful and beautiful life. It was really wonderful.
"You're welcome, it's just a simple dinner."
Ye Liangchen waved his hand indifferently. The food he made by himself gave him a sense of accomplishment, so he thought it was delicious.
It was getting dark, Ye Liangchen set up two tents, cut some tree trunks, made a simple bed, and then laid two layers of mats to prepare for rest.
Zhu Zhuqing also helped, but when she saw the two tents, she was very happy, but also a little disappointed. Was it because she was not beautiful enough? He had no idea about her?
Zhu Zhuqing thought that her beauty was okay. When countless men saw her, almost all of them had ideas about her. But this boy had never shown a bad idea about her since he met her. He was really different.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing doubted her beauty. As a woman, if she couldn't attract the attention of men, she would feel frustrated.
"I'm going to take a bath in the pool over there. Don't peek!"
After Ye Liangchen finished his work after dinner, he planned to take a bath. Before leaving, he told Zhu Zhuqing.
"Ah... Oh!..."
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked by Ye Liangchen's sudden words. Shouldn't this be said by a woman?
Seeing the confused look on the kitten's face, Ye Liangchen felt very funny. He said women's words and left them speechless.
After taking a comfortable bath in the pond, Ye Liangchen returned to the camp and prepared to practice.
"Ye Liangchen, you help me guard it, I'll go take a bath too."
Zhu Zhuqing said weakly to Ye Liangchen, picked up the toiletries, and quickly ran to the pond. At this moment, she felt like a deer was running around in her heart, jumping up and down.
"Kitten! Don't worry, there are no soul beasts or other people here. I will help you guard it."
Ye Liangchen said a few words lightly, then added some firewood to the fire, made the fire bigger, and then flew to a big tree, took out the HK416, and observed the surroundings through the night vision function in the scope to prevent any animals from approaching.
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing soaked in the pond to calm herself down. Meeting the man she had been thinking about again and staying overnight with him in this small valley made Zhu Zhuqing feel both excited and nervous.
Zhu Zhuqing recalled that she and her aunt were rescued by Ye Liangchen and his friends in the Xingdou Forest, and then they got to know each other. At that time, he was also a 6-year-old child. At that time, he took out sugar beans to share with her. Since then, Ye Liangchen's small figure has been imprinted in her mind forever.
However, thinking that this man seemed to have no thoughts about her, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little lost.
Time passed slowly, and it was about to be an hour. Ye Liangchen saw that Zhu Zhuqing had not come yet, and was worried that something had happened to the girl, so he shouted in the direction of the pool.
"Kitty, what are you doing? It's been so long, why haven't you come out yet?"
Ye Liangchen's words suddenly brought Zhu Zhuqing back to her senses, and she quickly replied to him.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine soon."
Zhu Zhuqing quickly got out of the water, changed into clean clothes, and then washed the previous clothes again, and walked quickly towards the camp.
"I thought you were drowned." Ye Liangchen sat not far from the fire, watching the kitten finally come, and couldn't help but tease.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little guilty. It took so long to take a shower and made others worry about her.
"Ye Liangchen, go to bed! I'll keep watch for you."
It was already late at night and Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to take the night watch.
"No, I want to practice, you go to rest!"
As a man, how could Ye Liangchen let a woman keep watch? Besides, with the little cat's little strength, he didn't trust her to keep watch.
"Then I'll keep watch with you. We soul masters can also use meditation instead of practice. It's okay to stay up all night."
Zhu Zhuqing was embarrassed to rest alone, so she also accompanied Ye Liangchen to practice.
"It's up to you! If you can't hold on, go to rest."
Ye Liangchen looked at this girl who was still trying to be strong, and didn't persuade her anymore.
"I can do it. I want to ask you some questions about practice. Is that okay?" Zhu Zhuqing was very curious about Ye Liangchen's dazzling soul ring combination.
"Ask!"
Now that the other party wants to hang out with him, Ye Liangchen can tell her something.
"How old is your first soul ring? The color of your soul ring is much darker than mine."
"My first soul is 999 years old, only one year short of a thousand years, the second ring is 3800 years old, and the third soul ring is 12000 years old."
"Ah! So amazing! How did you do it?"
"If you want to break through the limit of the soul ring, you have to make your body stronger, then you can have a chance to break through..."
Ye Liangchen told Zhu Zhuqing some simple physical training methods. As for the advanced ones, I can't tell you, that requires cheating.
Zhu Zhuqing turned into a little fan girl at this moment, listening to the other party explaining some training methods to strengthen the soul master's physique, little stars kept appearing in her eyes.
